What

The Poe Center’s Camp PlayWELL offers a one-of-a-kind experience for rising 1st-5th graders in the Raleigh area. This summer day camp combines fun hands-on indoor and outdoor planned activities with meaningful health-science education, providing an engaging environment where children can learn and play.

Campers participate in a variety of experiences, including health-focused lessons, STEAM projects, and active play on our PlayWELL body systems–themed playground. Each week features a unique health theme—such as cooking, body systems, or mental wellness—giving participants the opportunity to explore multiple aspects of healthy living.

To extend learning beyond camp, every participant receives take-home materials that reinforce the week’s theme, encouraging families to continue the conversation and apply new knowledge at home.

Lunch will be provided to campers.
